Warbroek, B. (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Bressers, H (author), Coenen, F. (author)Evidence from academic studies that analyze social and institutional factors that influence success with community energy projects is scarce. To address this, we pose the question: What are the social, organizational, and governance factors that explain success with ‘local low-carbon energy initiatives’ (LLCEIs)? To answer this question, claims...journal article 2019
